Firing a Church to Warm Cattle.

Parsons, Kan, Jan. T4.-Last
week the Christian church three
miles north of here was totally de-
stroyed by fire The ..origin OF the
fire was mystery until to-day, when
a haif-witted young man named
Ruby Coffmah confessed that he
had set the building on fire to warm
the cattle that were shivering with
the cold in the pasture near by. The
young man was arrested and lodged
in Jail at Erie.
